"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Not Long Enough

Dear Blog Readers,

Is it worrisome that I want to be a writer and can't seem to write a five page paper given an entire day? It worries me. I now have two pages written. Double-spaced. And two hours left tonight to do it. I can just see that my points are not strong enough. And it's the spending hours online searching for articles that prove my point or that I could argue with that gets to me :( I really only have one good article. I'm comforted by the fact that it's only a rough draft due Thursday and that everyone around me in class was talking about how they hadn't started and hadn't even thought about what they were going to write about. So maybe I won't be the only one in my group who doesn't have a clear argument or a full five page paper.
